Put Options and Temporary Equity [Abstract] |
Put Options and Temporary Equity [Text Block] |
| H. | Put Options and Temporary Equity
As part of certain of the Company’s acquisition transactions, we have entered into Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreements with the sellers pursuant to which, on or after a contractual period after the closing date, the seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to have the Company purchase from seller a certain number of our shares of common stock issued in the transactions in an amount and at a rate of not more than a contractual number of the shares per month (the “Monthly Shares”) calculated at a price per share equal to a contractual value per share (“Value of the Rick’s Shares”). At our election during any given month, we may either buy the Monthly Shares or, if we elect not to buy the Monthly Shares from the seller, then the seller shall sell the Monthly Shares in the open market. Any deficiency between the amount which the seller receives from the sale of the Monthly Shares and the value of the shares shall be paid by us within three (3) business days of the date of sale of the Monthly Shares during that particular month. Our obligation to purchase the Monthly Shares from the Seller shall terminate and cease at such time as the seller has received a contractual amount from the sale of the Rick’s Shares and any deficiency. Under the terms of the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreements, the seller may not sell more than a contractual number of our shares per 30-day period, regardless of whether the seller “Puts” the shares to us or sells them in the open market or otherwise. During April and May 2009, we completed renegotiation of terms of certain of our long term debt and a significant portion of outstanding put options. Before the renegotiation, the maximum obligation that could be owed if our stock were valued at zero was $13.9 million and was recorded in our consolidated balance sheet as Temporary Equity. After the renegotiation, the maximum obligation that could be owed if our stock were valued at zero was $3.2 million at September 30, 2012. If we are required to buy back any of these put options, the buy-back transaction will be purely a balance sheet transaction, affecting only Temporary Equity or Derivative Liability and Stockholders’ Equity and will have no income statement effect. The only income statement effect from these put options is the “mark to market” valuation quarterly of the derivative liability as explained in Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The annual obligation the Company would have if its stock price remains in the future at the closing market price on September 30, 2012 of $8.28 per share, of which there can be no assurance, would be $319,500 for the year ending September 30, 2013, including the derivative financial instruments recognized in our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012. Each $1.00 per share movement of our stock price has an aggregate effect of $13,500 on the total obligation.
